Proceedings of the Circuit Court.

The case of the Mayor and Common Coun-
Gil VS.. Grove A. Shipley terminated on Mon.
day with a verdict for the defendant, in ac
cordance with instructions from the court.
During the progress of the trial the court
rendered several decisions of importance, one
of which was that the corporate authorities of
Westminster have jurisdiction not only over
the side walks along the Baltimore & Refs
terstown turnpike, but over the bed Of the pike
also. The corporation lost the case on tech
nicalities alone.
On Tuesday the case of Crabbs VS.. Koontz,
damage case for illegal detention of property

The rainy clouds have dispersed, and the
sun shine has put forth its welcome rays OF
splendor to drive from us the dull gloom of a
long spell of wet weather. Crops of all kinds
of grain and vegetables are growing rapidly
and are looking very promising.
The wheat crop IN many instances is in-
tested with the fly and green worm, which
is just stripping the heads of. Generally
speaking the grass crop is more than was ex
pected early in the spring and the hay crop
will be an abundant one this year. The po
tato crop is looking very fine, but the potato
beetle is playing havoc with the vines. The
fruit crop is complete failure, especially the
apple. We met with an enterprising gentle
man the other day, who informed us that such
is always the case when the ground hog sees
his shadow on the 2nd of February. What
shall we do with such a troublesome animal
as the ground hog, which has caused us so
many complaints of the past and PRESENT.
Mr.. George A. Shipley raised the frame of
his large bank barn on Friday, 4th instant.
The frame went together nicely and there was
not single accident during the day. 1t was
noticed by a close observer present on that
occasion, that there were about IS hands at
the raising, composed as follows: 2 Judges,
physician, a correspondent, Terrific, school
teachers, 5 carpenters, l blacksmith, l lime
burner, / miller, and the balance were COM
posed principally of able bodied farmers and
their sons. Generally speaking, each laid
aside his occupation for a day and helped to
raise one of the heaviest barn frames in this
part of our county.

Detectives Droste and Barranger came to
this city on Friday of last week, and accom-
panied by Deputy Sheriff Zeiber, went to
Freedom district and arrested Joshua Merry
man, upon the charge of stealing four mules
valued at $500 from James Beatty, near
Coekeysville, Baltimore county, about two
months ago. Merryman submitted to ar
rest cheerfully, claiming that he had done
no wrong and that he was part owner of the
mules. He had hearing before Justice
Hobbs in Baltimore on Thursday. 1t was
shown that Merryman sold the mules in Bal
timore, but as, according to the evidence, he
was a partner in business with Beatty, and
that they had previously jointly advertised
the mules for sale, the case was dismissed.
Hon. Fetter S. Hoblitzell appeared for Merry
man and E. Beatty Graf for Beatty.

Since our last weeks correspondence we
have had some very heavy rains and the
ground is we'll soaked. Farmers are much
delayed in working their crops of corn and
potatoes and some fields are very foul with
weeds. Although corn is growing fine, that
which is called the blight has taken hold of
some of the potato vines already.
On Thursday night of last week, during the
heavy rain, Mr. B. F. Poole stable collapsed
under the weight of soaked planks with which
it was covered The Mustang stood the

Woodbine is still counted on the improving
list. Business is brisk and everybody seems
to be in good spirits, except few farmers
who have not yet plowed their corn the first
time. The almost incessant rains of the past
two weeks have thrown the farmers in gener-
al back little, although it has thrown the
tobacco crop ahead. Some few have finished
planting already. Corn is growing vigorously
and good crop is prophesied ifnothing occurs
in the future to prevent it. Grass is looking
well, and some will begin clover hay harvest
next week. Wheat is very poor, and not
more than one-third of crop will be realized
in most places.
